Aldi Is Taking Over This Old Winn-Dixie in Selma, Alabama

Aldi is on its way to Selma, with the discount grocer preparing to open at 1952 W Dallas Avenue. The new store is moving into the former Winn-Dixie building, giving the site a second life. A recent Google listing suggested an October 15 opening date, though Aldi has not made an official announcement. Local coverage also confirmed the Winn-Dixie conversion earlier this year.

Construction Details

Aldi is reworking the existing Winn-Dixie instead of starting fresh. The retrofit matches Aldi’s usual model: around 20,000 to 25,000 square feet. Expect private-label brands, simple aisles, and a no-frills design. Renovations include new signage, a refreshed interior, and updated fixtures. While Google lists October 15 as the target, Aldi has only confirmed the store will open by the end of the year.

Location Context

The store sits on W Dallas Avenue/AL-22, a busy stretch with retail and local services. The large parking lot, once filled by Winn-Dixie shoppers, will soon serve Aldi customers. Nearby tenants include Cleaner Clothes Dry Cleaning. The property anchored Selma’s grocery scene for years, and now Aldi is stepping in with its budget-friendly style.
